Nay... It was beer and ouzo. Now it moves.

Yeah, you need to look anywhere but the circles.

Then there's the famous Fraser spiral...that isn't a spiral at all.

Is that a proper golf-ball??
-
To the best of my knowledge, although the gif did come from some random site, so impossible to say definitively.
-
It look utterly nuts that a golf ball would deform like that, essentially when you think of how hard it feels. But all these ultra-slow motion video clips, and the amazing program Time Warp for instance, one realises that rigid objects often are much more flexible than one originally assumed.
-
Some very brief research suggests that different varieties of golf balls exist, specifically you can get ones that are much softer than a regulation ball, so perhaps its one of those.
-
Solidity is an illusion.
I know when a golf ball hits you on the head it seems quite solid... BUT most 'things' consist of empty space with a few atoms thrown in - so under levels of stress and strain than we don't normally experience [or perhaps more exactly, we don't 'notice'] - seemingly solid objects can behave as if they are 'elastic' or even 'permeable' - e.g. electrons passing through gold-leaf sheets unchanged etc... -
That reminds me of another point: we dont know how fast the ball was travelling. If it was going at mach 2 i wouldn't be very surprised if it wobbled a bit when it hit something stationary...

Then I'm more surprised it didn't break.
